Media Release Keppel Capital's Alpha Asia Macro Trends Fund III Media Release Keppel Capital’s Alpha Asia Macro Trends Fund III acquires three Grade A freehold commercial buildings in Seoul for KRW 430 billion Singapore, 29 April 2019 – Keppel Capital Holdings Pte. Ltd. (Keppel Capital), through Alpha Asia Macro Trends Fund III (AAMTF III), has entered into an agreement with a Korean asset management company to acquire 100% stakes in three Grade A freehold commercial buildings located in three major business districts in Seoul at a total acquisition price of about KRW 430 billion (approximately S$510 million1). The portfolio of three commercial buildings comprises Yeouido Finance Tower, located in the Yeouido business district (YBD), Nonhyun Building, located in the Gangnam business district (GBD), and Naeja Building, located in the Gwanghwamun central business district (CBD). The acquisition of the three buildings is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2019. AAMTF III is managed by Alpha Investment Partners Limited (Alpha), the private fund management arm of Keppel Capital. Concurrently, Keppel Investment Management Co., Ltd. (Keppel Investment Management), the asset management arm of Keppel Capital in South Korea, will be appointed the local asset manager for the three properties. Mr Alvin Mah, CEO of Alpha, said, “The acquisition of the portfolio is in line with AAMTF III’s strategy of creating value and driving returns for our investors. These prime commercial properties are well-located in major business districts of Seoul and have good connectivity and high accessibility to public transportation. Their addition to AAMTF III also aids in the diversification of the fund’s portfolio.” Mr Robert Sung, CEO of Keppel Investment Management, said, “Driven by both foreign and domestic investors, real estate investments have been strong in Seoul. The office sector is expected to see limited supply over the next few years while leasing demand is projected to remain steady. We are confident that these favourable fundamentals, coupled with our experienced team, active asset management on the ground and robust value creation strategies, will enable us to generate good returns for AAMTF III’s investors. We will continue to build on this traction and actively pursue quality opportunities to strengthen our product offerings in South Korea.” Yeouido Finance Tower Completed in 1994, Yeouido Finance Tower is a Grade A freehold 21-storey office and retail mixed-use development offering approximately 42,300 sm in gross floor area (GFA), comprising approximately 39,100 sm of office space and approximately 3,200 sm of retail 1 Based on an exchange rate of KRW 841.79 to SGD 1 as at 25 April 2019. space.

The property is located in Seoul’s Gwanghwamun CBD, known to be the preferred location for government offices, local conglomerates, multinational corporations and law firms, due to its well-established supporting facilities.

  • Korean Insurance Industry
    KOREAN INSURANCE INDUSTRY INDUSTRY INSURANCE KOREAN 2020 KOREAN INSURANCE INDUSTRY 2020 KOREAN INSURANCE INDUSTRY 2020 Foreword In 2019, the global real GDP slowed with the trade dispute between China and the United States and a slowdown in domestic investment. The uncertainty in the financial market has expanded. Korean economy grew by 2.0% in 2019, which is 0.9%p lower than 2.9% in 2018. As private consumption and exports weakened amid the current downturn in investment. The Bank of Korea (BOK) cut the base rate by 25 basis points two times, in both July and October 2019 in order to support economic recovery and moderate the downward pressure on prices. Financial market uncertainty has increased as the KRW/USD exchange rate rose and the stock market fell. In 2019, premiums in the insurance industry increased by 5.0%. The life insurance premium in 2019 increased by 5.8% mainly due to pension plans premiums’ sharp increase. However, the premiums in private life insurance have been shrinking for five consecutive years. The non-life insurance premium in 2019 increased by 5.0% mainly in pension plans, long-term insurance, Casualty, Automobile. Despite the growth in premiums, the insurance industry's profitability deteriorated due to continued negative margins, intensifying competition, and worsening loss ratio. The environment surrounding the insurance industry, such as low economic growth, deepening low interest rates, and an aging population is unfavorable to the insurance industry. In addition, changes in accounting standards and solvency regulation, which are scheduled to be introduced in 2023, are also expected to act as a burden on the insurance industry.

As the period began, the threat from the virus was becoming increasingly apparent, and countries around the world took economically disruptive countermeasures. Stay-at-home orders and closures of non-essential businesses became widespread, many workers were laid off, and unemploy- ment claims spiked, causing a global recession and a sharp fall in equity prices. After markets hit their lowest point of the reporting period in late March 2020, a steady recovery ensued, as businesses began to re-open and governments learned to adapt to life with the virus.

  • The Effect of Internal Capital Market of Korean Large Business Groups
    The Journal of Applied Business Research – September/October 2017 Volume 33, Number 5 The Effect Of Internal Capital Market Of Korean Large Business Groups On Investment Efficiency Minwoo Lee, Yeungnam University, South Korea Yuwon Choi, Yeungnam University, South Korea Sanghyuk Moon, Yeungnam University, South Korea ABSTRACT This study examines whether the effect of funding through internal capital markets on investment efficiency is differentiated by the incentives of controlling shareholders as measured by the divergence between cash flow rights and voting rights of controlling shareholders (hereafter, wedge). To empirically analyze hypotheses of this study, 1,189 firm-year observations were collected from Korean firms listed on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) belonging to a large business group designated by the Korea Fair Trade Commission over the period from 2005 to 2012. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, we find that the magnitude of internal funding, as measured by total payables to the related parties, is positively (+) associated with investment inefficiency. Second, the interaction variables of total payables to the related parties and the wedge have a significant positive (+) effect on investment inefficiency. In other words, the deterioration of investment efficiency due to the increase in total payables to the related parties was mainly caused by firms with a big wedge. This result suggests that the effect of internal capital markets on investment efficiency of large business groups may be differentiated by the wedge that is proxy of the controlling shareholder’s incentive. This study provides additional evidence on previous studies on the investment efficiency of large business groups by considering both the internal capital market and incentives for funding using the internal capital market, which are important factors affecting the investment of large corporate groups.

At the heart of our success was our belief that we were doing the right thing—improving the life for everyone whose lives we touched. We continue believing in this mission and it’s what inspires us to build for all, including the generations today and the generations to come. It’s why we’re continuing to foster trust and loyalty. But after 60 years, we’re facing a landscape that has also evolved and where competition is fierce and change is rapid. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is upon us; uncertainty looms ahead. But for us, we remain steadfast to what we’ve always done and what we must do. We must find opportunities in the midst of change and in spite of challenges.
